Hey guys-
Its about 65F in Dallas. I called everyone I know but no crew here means no sailing. The lake is down and the beach is a mix of broken glass, torn metal, fish hooks, 1-2" gravel, mud and the wind is going to the northwest [expecting 15-25mph with gusts]. I cover the area where I launch/beach with indoor rubber padded carpet to protect the hulls but after looking at the area today I won't be sailing here anytime soon on my 22 or 20. Its time to put the F25c in the water.
You could say yes I would like to be there...
Mike are you sailing with Smyth??

Hey Thom,
We had a really great day on the water . Warmer than I thought it would be . Sailed out into the bay , thru the Destin Pass and into the Guld where it was flat and beautiful. Popped the chutes and ran back to Destin , hit the beach for awhile. then off to The Boathouse for some gumbo and cold brews. Had a late afternon sail back to the Yacht Club , put the boat away and called it a day. And yes I had Randy the sailmaker Smyth with me so I could give him a few pointers.....haha. Geez you should see our beach to launch from at the club, sounds like yours is pretty tough.
Good sailing,
Mike

If you're talking about FWBYC I've been there a few times during the Nationals. A bit crowded dry storage when I was there but nice. Excellent Caesar salad and cheese burgers.
Actually my beach is all grass when the lake is at near normal levels but now it sucks at best.
